From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

After discussing the details of the plan, Obito Uchiha said, "Afterwards, I will go to Nagato to ask for the Hokuto Ring and join this mission as a new member of the organization."

"This time, no matter what, Uchiha Sasuke is doomed to die!"

.........

Meanwhile, just as the Akatsuki were planning how to lure Sasuke out and kill him.

On the other side, at Mount Sumeru in the Golden Wheel Mountain Range.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

From where a pair of rubble lay buried, came a very weak cough.

Not far from the rubble, a white-haired man with long, flowing white hair and wearing a red undershirt and a beige robe lay on the ground with his eyes wide open in death.

The white-haired man's limbs and muscles and meridians appeared to have been completely severed by an extremely sharp scalpel.

The huge blood hole in the white-haired man's chest, still bearing traces of black iron filings, was the absolute cause of his death.

"Huff...huff..."

Kabuto pushed aside the pile of rubble covering him, took a few heavy breaths, and looked at Hiruko's corpse. A ferocious smile appeared on his blood-covered face.

"In the end, I still won!"

The battle against Hiruko was the most dangerous battle of Kabuto Yakushi's life, even though Kabuto's current strength was no less than Kakashi's before he used the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Hiruko's strength was still above his. If it weren't for Hiruko's surprise attack with the chakra scalpel beforehand, and the Third Kazekage's Edo Tensei as an aid, Hiruko would have been even stronger.

He's the one who'll die in this battle!

Let me see what secrets the Ghost Sprout Technique holds.

It's unbelievable that you want it so badly!

After using simple medical ninjutsu to heal his injuries, Kabuto Yakushi didn't even have time to wipe the blood off his face before eagerly searching for the Oni-Garra Technique on Hiruko's corpse to examine it.

"this......"

As he watched, Kabuto's face changed from pale to green, like the ever-changing weather, his mood unpredictable.

After a long while, Kabuto Yakushi put down the scroll in his hand and concluded:

"This technique has almost no chance of success. Even if Hiruko thought of this and tried to use the heavens, earth, and man to complete the final step and force the fusion, there would still be great dangers involved. Even if he was lucky and succeeded, his body would experience a severe rejection reaction!"

As someone whose medical ninjutsu was even superior to Orochimaru's, Kabuto Yakushi realized the fatal flaw in the Kigahara Technique after only seeing it once.

"However... perhaps this... can solve the problem..."

As if remembering something, a glint of light flashed in Kabuto's eyes, and he began to mutter to himself.

...............

One day later, on Ghost Island.

Sasuke sat in the chair, looking at Kabuto Yakushi, who was smiling gently as he handed over a scroll of the Demon Sprout Technique. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You actually managed to kill Beiruhu?"

After a moment of silence, Sasuke spoke.

Chapter 281 Let's go to Dragon Land Cave to learn immortal techniques.

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi's expression remained unchanged, still displaying a gentle smile.

"It was just a lucky break. I was practically on my deathbed. If it weren't for you, Sasuke, giving me the Edo Tensei form of the Third Kazekage, I wouldn't have been able to kill Hiruko."

"I see, thank you for your hard work, Senior Dou."

Sasuke nodded, his expression showing no change, seemingly believing Kabuto Yakushi's explanation.

Sasuke was surprised, but not entirely, that Kabuto was able to kill Hiruko.

Although in the original timeline, Hiruko displayed combat power surpassing that of a typical Kage when she first appeared.

But that was three years later, after he had absorbed four bloodline limit ninjas using the Oni-Garuru technique.

According to Sasuke, Hiruko was supposed to launch a sneak attack on the Bloodstained Ninjas of the major ninja villages three years later. However, based on Sasuke's information, there has been no news of any Bloodstained Ninjas being attacked in the major ninja villages.

Clearly, at this time, Hiruko had not yet absorbed any bloodline limits. Her own strength might be considerable, but she probably had not reached the level of a Kage.

Kabuto Yakushi was already an elite Jonin-level ninja, and Sasuke also taught him the Impure World Reincarnation technique, giving him the Impure World Body of the Third Kazekage.

On one hand, there's the fear that this guy might encounter danger in the ninja world. With the Third Kazekage's Edo Tensei body, at least he has some ability to protect himself.

On the other hand, there's the hope that this guy can develop an improved version of the Edo Tensei from the Fourth Shinobi World War.

With his own strength and the added advantage of being the Third Kazekage, he could easily outmaneuver someone who was unprepared.

It was not surprising that Hiruko died at the hands of Yakushi Kabuto.

After saying that, Sasuke neither told Kabuto to go and rest, nor did he ask him anything else.

Instead, he took the scroll from Kabuto and began to read it right in front of him.

A dozen minutes later, Sasuke put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Kabuto Yakushi who was still standing quietly in place with a gentle smile on his face, and spoke casually.

"Senior Dou, have you seen this scroll?"

"Ah."

Kabuto nodded and replied calmly, "Since Sasuke-kun values ​​this scroll so much, I opened it earlier to check its authenticity in order to ensure its genuineness."

"Oh?"

Sasuke glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and said with a half-smile, "I never said I valued this scroll. I remember the task I taught you before was just to find Hiruko's whereabouts, and I didn't mention any scrolls."

"Forehead....."

Upon hearing this, Kabuto was speechless for a moment, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his body.

"However, Senior Dou still meant well."

Just as Kabuto was racking his brains for an explanation, Sasuke unexpectedly changed his tone and began to encourage him.

"Now that Kabuto-senpai has seen this scroll, what do you think of Oni-Garra, this ninjutsu that can steal the abilities of others, even their bloodline limits?"

Sasuke glanced at Kabuto and asked with interest.

"This is an incredibly amazing ninjutsu. The Second Hokage, who created it, was a genius, and Hiruko, who perfected it, was also a genius, but..."

Kabuto adjusted his glasses, organized his thoughts, first praising the Oni-Garaku technique, then changed the subject, speaking with a serious expression:

"However, this ninjutsu has almost no chance of success, and it is extremely dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke smiled and continued, "Didn't it mention above that we should use the three factors of heaven, earth, and man to solve this?"

The scroll of Hiruko mentions three contributing factors: favorable timing (the golden ring solar eclipse), advantageous location (Mount Sumeru), and harmonious relationships (the Oni-Garara Technique and the five bloodline ninjas).

"First, rejection!"

"The Demon Sprout Technique can indeed forcibly plunder the abilities and bloodline limits of other ninjas, but the fusion process is far too crude. It's almost like forcibly kneading them together, regardless of whether this bloodline is compatible with one's own physique or whether it will cause a rejection reaction."

"If one's physique is strong and one's physical condition is good, it's fine to forcefully suppress it. But if one's physique is weak, or one is in a state of depleted chakra or serious injury, one will inevitably suffer a backlash!"

"Just like there are several blood types, even a simple blood type mismatch can cause a hemolytic reaction, leading to shock, acute organ failure, or even death. If just a blood type mismatch can cause such a reaction, what about absorbing someone else's chakra or even their entire bloodline limit?"

"Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "Then what's the second one? If we resolve the rejection reaction, what problem should we solve next?"

"Secondly, it's about balance,"

Kabuto seemed to have anticipated Sasuke's question and answered almost without hesitation:

"In Hiruko's vision of the Oni-Garaku Technique, he intended to simultaneously plunder five bloodline limits, that is, bloodline limits that simultaneously possess five chakra nature transformations, to become a perfect ninja. However, judging from his selection of the five bloodline limit ninjas, he did not take into account the balance of the five bloodline limits, nor did he take into account the strength difference of the five bloodline limit ninjas."

"In this way, even if the bloodline limits of the five bloodline ninjas are all compatible with his own physique, the fusion will still cause an imbalance. Some abilities will be strong while others will be weak, and some weak abilities will not even appear under the suppression of other powerful abilities."

"Um, any more?"

Kabuto shook his head and slowly said:

"No, from the perspective of a medical ninja, the Oni-Garra Technique has these two fatal flaws. If these two problems are solved, the Oni-Garra Technique will truly become a perfect ninjutsu."

"hehe."

Sasuke chuckled lightly, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Since Kabuto-senpai was able to discover these two flaws in the Demon Sprout Technique, with Kabuto-senpai's wisdom, he should already have a preliminary solution by now, right?"

After saying that, Sasuke sighed as if talking to himself.

"Senior Kabuto, as you can probably tell, I really long to combine the bloodline limits of the Kaguya and Hyuga clans into one, but I've been struggling to find a way, so I'm pinning my hopes on the Oni-Garra Technique."

really!

Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I do have an idea, which is cloning, and also letters!"

Cloning and letters?

Sasuke's eyes flickered, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

Tell me more.

"The so-called cloning is to take one's own cells and tissues as the core, add cells from several major families, and cultivate several clones of Kaguya, Hyuga, etc., that are perfectly compatible with oneself, and at the same time cultivate these clones to a level of similar strength."

"As for Shin, Shin's constitution is very special. He will not have a rejection reaction to any tissue transplanted into his body. Although Shin has defected from the Sound Village, his cell tissue is still in this base."

"Kira-ya was cultivated by Hiruko after fusing some special genes. It is a product that can steal the bloodline of others. And there is no cell tissue in the entire ninja world more suitable for cultivating Kira-ya than Shin's cell tissue."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the Guilu bud, which has been cultivated and improved by Hiruko for many years, is even inferior to Shin's own cell tissue in terms of its fusion ability, let alone the Guilu bud cultivated from Shin's tissue cells!"

At this point, Kabuto paused, glanced at Sasuke, and seeing that he remained calm, hardened his heart and continued:

"At that time, Sasuke, you can use the Kigaara, which you cultivated with Shinji cells and whose effects are hundreds of times better than those in Hiruko's hands, to absorb a clone that is perfectly compatible and balanced with you, and in one fell swoop possess the bloodline limit and power of the five great clans: Hyuga, Kaguya, Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha!"

After saying this, Kabuto Yakushi fell silent, waiting for Sasuke's response.

After hearing Kabuto's idea, Sasuke didn't say anything, but simply tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

The incessant clicking of the drum made Yakushi Kabuto feel agonizing, and he dared not even breathe.

After a long while, just as Kabuto was feeling his strength waning, Sasuke suddenly stood up, walked over, patted Kabuto on the shoulder, and smiled:

“Good idea, Senior Dou. You can give it a try. I look forward to your experimental results.”

After saying that, Sasuke started walking out the door.
